A typical Pritam melody, this one - immensely hummable and likeable (and presented in multiple versions) and very likely to be stuck in your head for a long time. Excellent delivery by Arijit Singh. -Vipin

Have to admit (grudgingly) that Arijit sounds good here :). -Aditya

An exquisite melody by Pritam giving you the feeling of first love. The song has been composed in order to depict an innocent love story from 1990. It gives out very QSQT or Pehla Nasha vibes. Arijit Singh is at his best singing Irshad Kamil’s incredible lines. He is phenomenal every time he sings high pitched ‘jo tum na ho..’. Loved the use of acoustic guitar. Listen to the other two versions of the song as well. The reprise version is beautiful with additional female vocals. The third one is released as a lockdown version with a new antara by Irshad Kamil. -Mihir

One of the very best, by Pritam. Harks back to an era when melody ruled Hindi film music. -Karthik

The first flush of love sort of song. Arijit breezes through it. -Subrat

Earwormy. -Trisha

The 'hawaayein' of this year! Arijit and Pritam don’t falter anywhere and make an extremely hummable song. Ghalib's क़ासिद के आते आते is simplified by Irshaas sahab for this generation in 'Khud hi sawaal karke, Khud hi jawaab dena teri taraf se'. P.S. If Irshaad sb is reading this, my 4 year old asks Alexa to "play Shayad by arijit and Irshaad kaamil". Credit mil gaya yaar. -Akanksha



Irshad Kamil's spectacular lyrics encapsulated within Pritam's lush, sprawling and slow bruning melody weaves magic in the air. -Krithikaa

Song of the year. Na chahiye kuch tumse zyaada, tumse kam nahi - Exacty what I feel for the track. Pritam saves the year for Hindi film music through Love Aaj Kal. -Aman





Arijit does his thing again. He can probably sing songs like this in his sleep now! -Vishal





Is it just me or. -Shalini

This song was one of the first earworms of the year -- the flute piece is immensely addictive, and Pritam's tune is one of the calmest we have heard in recent years. Irshad Kamil works wonders with the lyrics yet again. -Rujul
